Thank You Lord...
Today has really been an incredible day... Thank you Lord for Your mercy that I was late for Sunday band practice but in turn prevented a bad accident from worsening.
Ms Clover had a fainting spell this morning after she complained of an extremely painful tummyache. I was very thankful that I was late for church band practice coz if I had step out of the house on schedule, she would have fainted in the house with no one around to help - the risk of hurting her head when she fainted can really be severe if I hadn't noticed that she was looking a little weird and non-responsive to my repeated callings. She went limp with her pupils dilated and her lips went pale. As she is slightly anemic, I suspected a sudden drop in blood pressure so I had to quickly make sure she is in a recovery position and making sure the nothing is affecting her heart or breathing.
Thank You Lord for the fact that my mum trained me well since young to know what to do and act calmly in times of medical emergency coz she herself was a senior nurse in SGH before moving on to be a clinic manager in Mount Elizabeth.
After making sure that she was alright (the loss of consciousness was very brief like 20 seconds but she has no recollections of me yelling at her for a response or how she pass out), she came to and we quickly assessed the situation and thought it best to go to a hospital to check it out coz this fainting is a very strange and isolated case .
Throughout the journey to TTSH, I was giving thanks to God in my heart for His saving grace and mercy. Had I went out of the house earlier, it would really be disasterous and God knows what will really be the outcome. God is watching over Ms Clover and over us.
The hospital side has no conclusive results except attributing it to be an isolated case but has referred Ms Clover for a followup with a Colon Specialist next week to see if there's any adnormalities in her gastro/ colon that caused that severe tummyache that made her faint in the 1st place.
I'm just glad and relieved that she is now okie with no major complications from this episode although I was a little shaken by it as it was so sudden. Had I not been there, I will really be feeling bad if anything happened to her....

Dear daddy in Heaven, thank you Father for Your timely mercy. For protecting your children in need and for the timely intervention so that no harm will come to us. I pray that You will continue to watch over all of us and give us grace to handle the situations that may come our way and to give You thanks for the trials that will mould us to be the persons You create us to be.
I pray all these and lift Ms Clover upon Your hands. In Jesus's name. Amen.

On a happier note, we would never guess who we will bump into when we were at Changi Airport T3 just now while sending Ms Clover's brother to work (SIA steward) - dR, MM and lil' Kayla! They were having their last of Singaporean food before taking the long flight back to NYC... hahaha :D It was really nice to meet up with them on 2 separate occasions in the short duration that they were in Singapore and now I had the coincidental opportunity to bid them bon voyage in person. God is truly amazing!
* by the time you guys are reading this, you should be back @ home in NYC so welcome back and we missed having you guys around! :)
